Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I haven't forgotten about this thread! Puppy matters have distracted me a bit over recent weeks, but I managed a 10:15 mile on this morning's run. Chipping away at it :-) The next mile was 10:45, then finished with a 10:33.

Half marathon now done and dusted, and PT son is threatening me with speedwork as I'm targeting a 10k later in the year, so I'll continue haunting the thread.

I haven't gone to track tonight - had a very upset tummy all day :-(. It sounded like quite a tough pyramid session and I wanted to see how I coped with it so I'm disappointed.

Ok, I have been back to the beginning of the thread and discovered that I should start by running for 2 and a half minutes at a hardly comfortable pace, with focus on thinking tall and using arms, that 21/2 mins to be embedded in a longer run (a mile or more). I won't be doing it today, nor (probably) tomorrow but Monday looks likely.

Also quite chuffed to find that despite my IT idiocy I am better at getting my Garmin to do what I want it to do than some other people on this thread seem to be.

Just one sub 10 minute mile.
That's all I ask.
You can warm up for an entire marathon beforehand ...
